Know of any other ad bastards? Leave URLs in Comments and I’ll shame the bastards here.
I’m giving this its own Category because I’m sick of it!
Hey, websites! How much are those dollars worth to you?
More than your readers?
More than the hell I’m going to give you here?

I read both of those blogs with Opera 9 and don’t see what you see.

Firefox 2.x on an XP PC.
Oh sure, some people will install Fox plug-ins to suppress ads, but I think I might miss something doing that. (Although most of the ads I see online are for products I already know or have already seen written about!)
Most people out there in the real world don’t know about ad-suppression methods (or even how to use anti-viral software; hence the jillions of hijacked PCs — one of which was even *mine* last year!), so they will see these ads.
I see this as yet another step in the ruination of the Net.
Someone has to scream about it. Might as well be me.

I don’t use any ad block add-on on Opera. I tried ad block on Firefox and did not like the results.
